I had a player die from losing too much Con from a poison effect, taking them down to -1, so they died. My question is exactly how to be able to have them raised, since the Con damage won't heal naturally while dead. Any advice would be appreciated. Level 6 character btw.

I though the rogue class was supposed to be considered not worth it, broken, and not competitive or viable at all unless using the unchained rules.

It’s partly the principle of ceilings and floors. The rogue has a low ceiling but so does the sorcerer. And this sorcerer doesn’t have a strong solo spell list. But more importantly, the rules of the tournament are very punitive against this sorcerer, because he won’t be able to start with buffs he can generally be assumed to have at the start of a fight. And now we find out that area of effect spells are also much harder to use. It kind of feels like the DM is trying to give the sorcerer a hard time, but the cleric matchup may actually be easier for the spell list this sorcerer has to work with. I do worry the cleric may be able to tank and heal more damage than the sorcerer can dish out.

The DM didn’t actually set up this encounter. The player that was elected to be King in our Kingmaker game came up with the whole festival and Tournament of Champions himself, as well as the brackets and most of the rules. He even got to pick who he wanted to be in the tournament, DM is just here for the ride. And the murdering of the PC’s with little consequence, as they have an arrangement of sorts for healing/resurrection set up.

Too late to buy gear/more magic now buddy, we’re in the tournament! Also, thanks for helping him try to figure out how to beat who he thought was going to be his opponent, but now he found out his first real opponent will be a level 10 cleric! Also, hilariously, the rogue drew what should have been an easy 1st round matchup vs a fighter, and while he won the initiative and should have easily won with sneak attack damage, he rolled a 1 to hit and has been getting pummeled as a result. Also the arena is 100X100 with spectators filling the seats surrounding the walls. Any damage to the spectators will disqualify you from the tournament!
